What: bike shot
Why this angle: the air + the trail tells a good story. plus all those vertical lines kept the scene clean. Nice light too…looking up really “opened up” the image. Simplicity almost always wins – in this case it does.
How: I laid under the jump and motor-drived the action at 9fps. we shot several attempts to ensure the rider was in the right spot relative to the rest of the scene…plus we added in the little bike tilt for some flair.
Gear n such: Nikon D3s. Nikkor 14-242l8 lens shot at 15mm. ISO 800. f3.5 1/1000sec (Here’s a link for you gear folks)
Feel free to let me know what you think. Or just tell me you like it.
Awesome shot Chase as always. Was this shot at Duthie in Issaquah by any chance?
Keep up the hard work!
Where was this snapped? What was the equipment?
Would love to visit and work with you one day CJ!!
Love your work and your creative brain!
Cheers from Melbourne, Down Under <3
WOW, this is very inspirational for me right now while I climb out of this rut a very trusted manufacturer knocked me into. Looking up and seeing this photo only gave me a vision that I am down, but I am definitely not out!!!
Amazing shot Chase. I think you would like some of the tracks near my way in the good old United Kingdom! Death Valley for novice mountain bikers! Thanks for sharing.
